A group of friends and myself trekked our way to the beach and we were welcomed by friendly Abhi. We placed our mats by the beach and he led us through a wonderful one hour, 15 minute class which included stretching, meditation, and some challenging poses. I attend yoga when I am at home in San Francisco a fair amount (I like vinyasa yoga with a bit of challenge), and Abhi's class was one of my favorite yoga classes that I have ever taken. He was a great instructor and kept the class relaxing and engaging; never once did I feel bored or that it was too difficult. He has a very calm presence and helps you out with your poses as well. I definitely recommend taking his class if you're in Kauai - it's a great workout to start or end a beautiful day on the island! Thank you, Abhi, for amazing yoga on the beach!

The spa area itself is small, but very relaxing. The women's area has locked rooms, outdoor rain showers (all with privacy curtains), 3 more accessible showers with doors/curtains, a steam room, sauna, and hot tub. All the bathroom amenities were provided including hair dryers, curlers, and straighteners, moisturizers, deodorant, and even SPF. I was also given slippers and a robe. Unlimited towels are available as well as scented cold towels to use after the saunas. There is also a tea bar, iced lemon water, iced tea, and snacks (almonds and a fruity trail mix). Food is available for purchase (with some hidden fees) and you are not allowed to bring in outside food. However, the spa pass does allow for in and out privileges so you could leave for food. The common area consists of some tables, a warmed lap pool, and 2 very hot jacuzzis with some loungers. We appreciated that most of the loungers were under the building's overhang which provided shade while sitting outside. There are also a few "wellness" books provided to read while lounging. Officially, the spa is supposed to be cell phone free, but this was not enforced. Complementary parking for the day was included in the pass, so we were able to explore the grounds of the hotel which were stunning and access the beach side walking path through the hotel. Just make sure to get your parking pass validated! I would highly recommend this experience, particularly if you want to decompress, shower, and change before a late flight.

The word magic always seems to find me when I speak about Hale Pule. Coming from a farming…read morebackground, I was drawn to the Vedic living immersion as a way to work doing what I love while also learning about Yoga and Ayurveda which I had rather little previous knowledge of. Before arrival I was given a low down of how life functions there, but of course you can't really understand totally until you are living it. It takes a bit to adjust to how things work, especially if you haven't had any exposure to spiritual living. But once you get over that initial discomfort, you get to truly indulge in the beauty you are living. Hale Pule is a utopia of sorts, with flourishing vegetation and an energy like I have never felt before. The cost however of living in this dreamland, is that you have to face yourself. The environment is meant for healing and self work, not a vacation. All of the women who run Hale Pule are truly incredible, as they carry so much wisdom and make themselves available at all times to help you through this journey of self. The schedule is strict, but intentionally so for nothing other than your benefit. It can be an overwhelming experience at times, as self can often be a mighty monster to conquer, and if you do not allow yourself to open it will only grow harder, but Hale Pule is truly a gift to the world. At the end of my 9 weeks on the farm I felt as if I was a brand new human going back into the world. However, the journey was far from over at my departure. In fact I don't think I really even began to comprehend everything that had began to shift within me until after. Everything learned during my stay continues to develop within me, from the ways of cooking and eating, to the daily practices, to health, mindfulness, and understanding my emotions. Hale Pule offers seeds in abundance, if you care for them: the garden is yours. I'm not certain if I would be the person I am today or have the potential to be who I will become if Hale Pule had not become a part of my life and for that I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time in such a transformative place. I owe my health and happiness almost entirely to the path Hale Pule guided me to. If you are ready to challenge your current self against the full potential you possess, trust that Hale Pule is the place for you.

What a wonderful experience I had with this retreat. I had little idea of what to expect and let…read moremy instincts guide me. Earlier this year a friend had been to India at an Ayurveda center. He spoke about the meals, the treatments etc. I have always been a believer that what you eat is very important to your body. I searched Amazon for a recipe book on Ayurveda food preparation. Low and behold, Myra's book popped up "Simple Ayurveda Recipes". I like simple, so I bought it last February 2014. Since then I have prepared many dishes, which my tummy welcomes with open arms. I then found out about about Hale Pule through this book and visited the web site. Looking over the various topics, especially food and the retreats offered, I thought this is right up my alley. I am a "searcher" and am always improving on my life's experience, building a lifestyle that makes me feel the best I can possibly be. The time spent with Myra and staff was amazing. The love, kindness and patience practiced at Hale Pule, gave me inspiration. I want to be more like that. I am home now for two weeks, continue to prepare the meals that I enjoyed, as well as the yoga practice. The meditations I learned keep me grounded. I am truly blessed that my husband is also joining me on this journey. Both of us look forward to visiting Myra & staff again next year ( or sooner if possible ). to grow stronger in this lifestyle, I think I barely touched the vast possibilities. Like I was told baby steps, every week I add more to what I have learned and incorporate into my life. I eagerly await my newsletter that I signed up for, check face book for news as well. Thank you Myra, Kelsey and Vanessa - you are all very special to me. Namaste P.S. My main concern at my stage in life is weight. I am almost 60 and am not able to shed weight as fast as when I was younger. After trying many diet fads this way of eating is the healthiest and most successful. In 1 month I have lost 5 pounds, nothing else has worked.
